No new major trophy has
been added since 1966, the year when England lifted first and last World Cup
trophy.

Here are the top five England players of last decade,
majority of them are retired while one is the current captain of England.

After playing 338 games in 8 seasons for the London side
Chelsea, he was not offered a new contract. Cole won every trophy at
Chelsea but failed to lift any international trophy.

Cole has played 107 games for England and probably the
33-year-old will not be a part of England anymore as he is not been selected for
the World Cup Brazil.

Ferdinand retired few weeks ago from professional
football after serving Manchester United for more than ten years. The 35-year-old
who won 6 Premier League titles at United played 81 matches for England.

goals in 89 appearances for England. Owen who announced his retirement last
